Fruit vendor stabbed on Southern Foreshore

And in Belize City, the violence continued today when a fruit vendor who was working to earn an honest living was attacked by someone who instead wanted easy money. Thirty-six year old Honduran national Alfred Martinez was selling fruits in the Southern Foreshore area at about twelve-thirty this afternoon and had just left Continental Airlines when he became the victim of an attempted robbery. He was approached by a dark complexion man who was armed with a knife and demanded money. Martinez did not have much cash on him but he put up a fight and a struggled ensued with his assailant, who stabbed him in the back of the neck and fled. Fortunately, Martinez did not lose his belongings or his life but he had to be rushed to the Belize Medical Associates South Side clinic for treatment and was then transferred to the K.H.M.H.
